Green Fury becomes a member of the Global Guardians when Superman, recruited by Doctor Mist, asks for assistance in locating one of many ancient artifacts being pursued by a powerful group of evil mystics.

Renamed Beatriz Bonilla da Costa, she starts as an amateur model on the beaches of Rio, then becoming a showgirl and stage performer before finding herself serving as a top secret agent for Brazilian government's SNI (Serviço Nacional de Informações - National Information Service), actually ABIN (Agência Brasileira de Inteligência - Brazilian Intelligence Agency).

[citation needed] Beatriz remains with Justice League International for the remainder of its existence — in fact, she serves the longest tenure of any JLI member.

[10] She remains with the team but by the time she returns in Justice League America #88, it is too late to help prevent her best friend's death, as Ice is killed by the Overmaster.

[6][11] As Beatriz tries to cope with this loss, she briefly has a romantic relationship with Ice's former lover, Guy Gardner, and a longer one with Nuklon.

[12] Fire eventually tries to retire from being a superhero and establish a career as an internet glamor girl when Maxwell Lord talks her and several other former JLI members into reforming as a group of "heroes for the common man" called the "Super Buddies".

She finds herself sharing an apartment with Mary Marvel and, in a characterization reminiscent of her relationship with Ice, becomes a reluctant "babysitter" for the naive teenager.

[13] During Infinite Crisis, Beatriz returns to her espionage roots by joining Amanda Waller, who took over Checkmate after Lord's death.

[19] Despite her past as a dutiful soldier and daughter, Bea expresses remorse over taking part in a Checkmate mission that results in the deaths of as many as 50 Kobra agents, many of whom are immolated by Fire herself.

There, Fire kills Colonel Computron for Waller to protect her father, who, in the mid-1970s, under a right wing military dictatorship, ordered thousands of innocent deaths in Operation Condor, a US-supported [21] South American anti-communist program that involved assassinations, torture and forced disappearances.

After a visit from her superior, the Black King, Col. Taleb Beni Khalid-Isr, Beatriz agrees to turn over her father to international authorities for war crimes.

In Checkmate #16, after years of anguish and grief over the loss of her friend and ally Ice, Fire is at last reunited with her after the long-deceased hero is miraculously resurrected in the pages of Birds of Prey.

[23] Fire appears as one of the central characters in Justice League: Generation Lost, a maxi-series taking during the wider Brightest Day event.

At the start of the series, Fire is recruited as part of a massive group of superheroes tasked with hunting down the JLI's founder and Ted Kord's murderer, Maxwell Lord.

During an encounter with Max at the Justice League's former New York headquarters, Fire is rendered unconscious alongside Ice, Booster Gold, and Captain Atom.

The former Justice League members awake to discover that Lord has used his mental abilities to erase his existence from the minds of every single human on the planet, save for those present at the embassy.

Fire discovers that Max has mentally influenced the world into believing that Checkmate has dismissed her for failing her psychological evaluation.

[28] Fire heals by using the bandages of the medic mummy of the Creature Commandos, but is unable to keep Blue Beetle from being kidnapped by Maxwell Lord.

[29] While the team deals with the apparent loss of Blue Beetle, Fire bonds with Gavril Ivanovich, the current Rocket Red, and the two grow close, eventually sharing a passionate kiss.

In her post-Crisis incarnation, Beatriz's only power, gained from an organic energy source called Pyroplasm, was the ability to breathe green fire from her mouth.
